Designed originally for R&B Falcon, Deepwater Horizon was built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea. Construction started in December 1998 and the rig was delivered in February 2001 after the acquisition of R&B Falcon by Transocean, and was insured for $560 million.

i don't blame a company that had nothing to do with the construction of the Rig when it was due to the poor quality of the construction that messed everything up in the first place, i blame the people who DID make the rig's

it is not BP's fault that deepwater horizon was of poor quality, no matter how good the designs were. i think it could be partially BP's fault but not fully, BP are getting a bad name and the stocks are crashing, shouldn't this be happening to hyundai heavy industries who are the worlds biggest ship builders, making 10% of the worlds ships, but they also make offshore oil rigs.
i just find it amuzing that many people are saying that if SK go to war with NK that we should all support SK and their government and all their big companies, yet they have cost BP a hell of a lot of money, along with a lot of americans and stock exchangers all over the world and the pensioners here in britain who have their pensions paid by the stocks in BP...
i just think that Obama should stop bashing britain and BP and turn his attention to what caused the spill, and that is the construction of the rig!
